The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has announced the appointment of Abuja’s version of State Commissioners, called Mandate Secretaries.
\nIn addition, he also named other Political appointees into relevant positions in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), according to a statement from his office.
\nAnalysys expect that now that he has his own men in place, almost two years after, the territory will take on a new lease of life. “Abuja has been in slow, \u00a0very slow, motion since he came in. \u00a0Street lights are dead, \u00a0roads are deteriorating, health and other services are on a downward slope; but environmental sanitation is good, \u00a0thievery has reduced, \u00a0FCTA is a ghost town with listless staff in most offices.
